1.我想问这道题目如果B选项中的in a treatise 去掉的话能算对吗?
2. 同位语的修饰对象除了能修饰整句话以外,修饰的是主句的主语还是宾语?

我也不确定是不是对的。arguing 在这里只能做结果状语或者伴随状语。首先,作为结果状语:arguing for equal political and legal rights for women并不能作为Lucretia Mott published her Discourseon Women的结果来看。然后,作为伴随状语,我不确定是不是可行,我感觉好像是可以的。作者: howie0420 时间: 2013-3-3 20:17
e比b好,与in the …无关,所以去掉in the …还是选e。
b之所以不好是因为arguing这个ing与前句会产生因果或同时等某种密切的感觉…这种感觉你懂么?而这并不是原文想强调的,所以b不好…b更单纯直白些…选e作者: billzhaogx 时间: 2013-3-5 07:04
这个讲的比较详细 Usage of Verb-ing Modifiers - Part 1 (http://gmatclub.com/forum/usage-of-verb-ing-modifiers-135220.html#p1101074)
看完以后试着回答下你的问题,
2. 同位语的修饰对象除了能修饰整句话以外,修饰的是主句的主语还是宾语?
--> v-ing 放在comma后面修饰整个前面的clause, 而且修饰的是前面的主语。这里应该修饰的是Lucretia Mott
1.我想问这道题目如果B选项中的in a treatise 去掉的话能算对吗?
--> 去掉后从语法上没什么错误,arguing 修饰整个前面的clause,但是意思有问题,这样做变成说arguing 是publish的结果或者是延伸,这不是句子的本意。句子的本意是说这本书的主旨是讨论so and so,并不是说LM用讨论的方式出版了一本书。
改一个v-ing的选择是不是更make sense?
in 2012, LM published her book, using several media methods including latest social network.
